list of bushings to replace.

Thanks!

No problemo!

Yes, # 1 is the front upper strut mount

Number 1 is right.  They basically support the full weight of the car and the suspension loads.  Eventually they just wear out.  You can get stock or aftermarket ones.  They have OE offset ones too that offer more camber if you want it, or there are plates that attach to the top of the OE mount to give more camber at the expense of raising the ride height slightly.  You have lots of options there.

FWIW, You can get stock, solid rubber, 70-80-95 poly, aluminum, some delrin/nylon, etc.  You can get whatever you want to make the car handle and ride as needed.

Take a look at number 9 too. Both of mine were badly cracked.

yeah, I've noticed that! I'm swapping the control arm bushes to eccentric M3 ones, that are known for giving more caster and camber, and probably these offset top mounts would go nice with them. Problem is they are much more expensive, more than double price, compared with the standard ones.
